You can mine this coin with Scrypt ASIC.  It was meant to be released as the first NeoScrypt coin but I think what happened was the coin developer made a mistake and used altscrypt, which is just a reimplementation of scrypt using the neoscrypt libraries. 

Funny thing was the dev lost his premine and had to rely on someone gifting him the coins

If a coin dev wants to take over this coin and hard fork it to NeoScrypt I will offer a pretty decent bounty of NEOC
